Students May Find The System A Bit Slow At First

I have neglected you, I apologise. I wish I could say it was because I've been so busy going to all my classes and reading and doing assignments... but the truth is I have been run off my feet achieving very little. Happens a lot in my life.

it has a recipe for soup and all

 Allow me to explain, the title of this post is from the year abroad handbook from my university at home, regarding the administration here in the University of Seville... and my they weren't lying. Assembling a timetable and choosing classes should not be difficult, and it's not. And yet it is. Everything takes forever to happen and yet it's already over by the time I get there. And it's interesting yet I don't understand it. And there feels like there's no pressure to go anywhere or indeed to do anything and yet it is so unbelievably stressful.

 I can't even explain, it's almost like you're standing in a crowded corridor and everyone else is just standing still and chatting and occasionally moving one step forward but then they stop again, and you're in the middle of the crowd, and there is a HUGE FIRE at the other end of the corridor but you're the only one who can see it, or at least you think you must be because no one else is panicking, or maybe you've just gone mad. The feeling is "I should do something... but... no one else... should I... what?"

Wow I think I just summed up Spain. 

Hopefully tomorrow I will hand in my form thing and that will be the end of the madness and I'll finally have a  timetable and *gasp* a routine (this elusive routine remains out of reach, I'm convinced it will solve every problem I've ever had. Worryingly, the past month and a bit has revealed me to be a creature of habit who loves order and planning... no wonder I don't fit in). Or maybe there'll just be more confusion and not-panic-yet-panic. 

Stay tuned for more non-adventures. I'll stop being so boring once I have a routine ;)
